Assume that you have a Edit box control named "MyXSPField" on a XPage.
Now If I want to retrieve the value of the same on a button click, I can do it in the following ways,
i,
var fieldValue=document.getElementById("#{id:MyXSPField}").value
ii,
var computedId= "#{id:MyXSPField}";
var fieldValue=document.getElementById(computedId).value
But when I attempt to split the parameter as follows, no matter what ever way that I try, which makes sense to me, the attempt fails to give me the field value
i,
var editControlName="MyXSPField";
var computedId= "#{id:"+editControlName+"}";
var fieldValue=document.getElementById(computedId).value
ii,
var editControlName="MyXSPField";
var fieldValue=document.getElementById("#
{id:"+editControlName+"}").value
iii,
var editControlName="MyXSPField";
eval ('var fieldValue=document.getElementById("#
{id:"+editControlName+"}").value');
iv,
var editControlName="MyXSPField";
eval ('var fieldValue=document.getElementById("#
{id:"'+editControlName+'"}").value');
v,
I have tried replacing # by $ in all of the above mentioned attempts
Yes.. All of these attempts fail. I understand that I am breaking the EL (expression language) and that might be the issue....
But is there a way to instruct the XPage compiler to complile the dynamically created EL, 'cos this is a real worrying issue
Hi Sir,
ReplyDeleteThanks to your reply,I hope that will be working fine.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI am with the same problem.
Did you solve it?

Nope. Had an opportunity to speak with Philip Ryand (Chief Xpage Architect)and Stephan H. Wissel. They say this is not possible. Seems like we are stuck with it
